Cold weather is on the horizon, and pretty soon you'll find yourself digging through a bin to find the jackets you put away half a year ago. Regardless of how that search goes, the jacket you should be looking for this autumn is the Harrington.

Harrington jackets are nothing new; the original was debuted by Baracuta in 1928, and it's steadily grown to become a very popular style.

Harrington jackets are lightweight, hit at the waist, and often have a cool checkered lining. Nowadays they can be made from wool, cotton, polyester, or suede. With the jacket style becoming increasingly more varied, it's easier than ever to find a look and price that works for you.

Due to their lightweight nature, Harringtons don't always extend their use all the way to winter, but they remain a staple for autumn.

Check out the seven best Harrington jackets to buy this season, below:

Lyle & Scott

Asos

The Harrington in burgundy gives the jacket more of an 80's style, which looks great with joggers or chinos. Lyle and Scott balances a preppy and nostalgia-driven look that matches well with today's street wear.

Hackett London

John Lewis

Hackett London has been a staple of traditional British menswear for decades and that's the approach they take to the harrington. Though it has a full zip construction, the Hackett London option also has two buttons at the neckline.

Topman

Topman

The sleek black jacket has a nice contrast red checked interior that looks great when rolled up or worn loosely. Topman's affordable option is a great lightweight jacket, and the elasticated hem and cuffs make it easier to roll up just like a shirt-jacket.

Barbour

John Lewis

Barbour may be one of the oldest and best-known jacket makers in the UK. The harrington style isn't their staple, but this waterproof option they offer makes the harrington a good tough weather option.

Asos

Asos

Asos generally offers more affordable options, and their take on the harrington is no different. The colour blocks give the jacket a slightly more modern look as compared to their monochrome counterparts.
